*Introduction to Formation Overpressure:* *Mechanism and Prediction*
*IAGI WORKSHOPS 2011* *HILTON HOTEL BANDUNG* *19th-21st 2011 * *Instructor: DR. Agus M. Ramdhan * *Duration : 3 Days Workshop* *Workshop Level : Intermediate * * About The Workshop: * *Overpressure analysis may be a routine job for everyone working in the oil industry. The analysis in the industry may mainly be dedicated to ensure that the geological objective can be achieved safely by drilling. * *This workshop will discuss the basic of formation of overpressure, so that the overpressure analysis could be performed as accurately as possible.* *The workshop will comprise the introduction to subsurface pressure, data source to analyse subsurface pressure, overpressure generating mechanisms, overpressure prediction and estimation, and practical and geological application of overpressure. Overpressure cases in some Indonesia’s sedimentary basins will also be discussed at the end of the workshop. * *The workshop will be in an interactive format, i.e. the participants will actively be involved by doing lots of exercises* *You will learn: * Ø *Overpressure generating mechanism* Ø *Overpressure estimation* Ø *Practical and geological application of overpressure* * * *Who Should Attend:* *Geologist, geophysicists, exploration manager, drilling engineer, and other personnel who work in oil and gas industry.* *Workshop Instructor: * *DR. Agus M. Ramdhan is a lecturer at the Department of Geology, Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB). He received a scholarship from Total E&P Indonesie (TEPI) to pursue his PhD study at Durham University, UK. Durham is well known as one of the biggest overpressure research centre in the world. He is an active member of IAGI (Indonesian Association of Geologist) and EAGE (European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers). * *He maintains his overpressure research by actively publishing his research in scientific journals (e.g. Petroleum Geoscience and AAPG Bulletin) as well as by presenting it in scientific meeting (e.g. AAPG workshop, EAGE workshop, IPA, and IAGI).Currently, he is an investigator in a multi-sponsor advanced overpressure research at Durham, and also one of main investigators at a multi-sponsor overpressure research at ITB * *Registration: Hilda (+62**‐**856**‐**907**‐**2007) / Eva (+62**‐**856**‐** 9554**‐**5232)*
